How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewGreat location close walking distance to train station/ tram/ food. Standard room is comfy and clean although small with little space for large suitcases (to be expected everywhere in Hong Kong). Phillip and the other staff were very friendly and helpful with questions, it is 24hr reception. The included breakfast pastries/drinks were hot and fresh and a big plus. Would return again.

Verified reviewThe staff are exceptional . Nothing was too much trouble , they were most accommodating and very professional . Totally exceeded my expectations .
The rooms are very small . It would be impressively for 2 people to stay in them unless they were just going there to sleep . There is very little space for more than one piece of hand luggage . They have one room available that is a larger room with more space but even then it was a juggle to move if you have luggage .

Verified reviewAwesome. A simple continental breakfast was a great way to start each morning with a delivery at the same time. The front desk &housekeeping staff were all so friendly and courteous.
Honestly nothing. Did everything that I needed really well. The rooms are on the smaller side, but this is to be expected with Hong Kong. Perfect for a solo traveller or a couple.
Thank you for choosing to reside with us at Sohotel, and sharing the positive review on Agoda. We are happy to learn that you were delighted by the breakfast. Your other comment has recorded and shared with the team for future improvement. We look forward to serving you in the future. Grace But Guest Service

Verified reviewgenerally pretty good for a small (two rooms only per floor) highrise Hong Kong apartment
When the fire alarm went off and I was on the 17th floor, a 65 year old with heart and mobility problems I was concerned. When 3 fire engines with long ladders parked in front of the building my fear of what was happening increased. I would not be able to get down 17 flights of stairs. There were no PA announcements at all. No information. The other guest on my floor was similarly concerned but was young enough to get down the stairs. After an hour and a half waiting I had a knock on my door - a chinese speaking maid was delivering my basic breakfast - she was dismissive about the fire alarm - in sign language. I guess that if you are a bit older and may not be as fit as you used to be then you really should rethink about the sort of accommodation that you patronise. As soon as I built up the courage to use the lift I packed up and checked out, earlier than I had previously planned. Not my favourite goodbye from Hong Kong.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the distress caused by the recent fire alarm during your stay. The alarm was triggered due to a guest smoking in their room, leading to a false alarm. We understand how disruptive and concerning this situation can be, especially for our valued guests. At Sohotel, we take safety very seriously. Our fire alarm system is directly connected to the fire department, which is why fire trucks arrived promptly. Due to the nature of the false alarm, we did not issue a public announcement or evacuation notice, as there was no immediate danger. If you or any other affected guests have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our front desk by dialing 0 from your room phone. Our team is available 24/7 to assist you. Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. Grace But Guest Service

Verified reviewClean, affordable, in the location that I needed. 24 Hr front desk was helpful for my late arrival.
Small room. Was fine for one person but two would be tricky.
Thank you for staying with us at Sohotel and for taking the time to share a review about our hotel. We are glad you found our 24Hr front desk are helpful and location convenient for your stay. However, we regret our room did not meet with your approval, for which we are sorry for any inconvenience that might have caused.

May we recommend staying in our Signature room for your next visit, these room categories are more spacious. We hope this experience does not deter you from returning to stay with us. Thank you again for your comment and we look forward to having the pleasure of welcoming you again on your future visits to Hong Kong. Sincerely Grace But Guest Service
